|
The Consumer they call us |
|
We're the people that buy |
|
Well everyone else is out to sell some kind of merchandise |
|
We run to the boss and tell 'em we need a bit more gold |
|
Some tax deductions later and we still wind up in the hole |
|
Oh yes we are the people running in the race |
|
Buying up the bargains in the ol' marketplace |
|
Another sale on something, we'll buy it while it's hot |
|
Save a lot of money spending money we don't got |
|
We Save a lot of money spending money we don't got |
|
The Consumer they call us |
|
We always get a fair shake |
|
We buy a fridge that doesn't freeze and a stove that doesn't bake |
|
We can't buy nothing lasting unless we get that raise in pay |
|
And they'd only charge us more for the things that cost less today |
|
The Consumer they call us |
|
We're fussy what we eat |
|
We look at the price of t-bone steak and buy hamburg meat |
|
And all those fancy packages we take down from the shelf |
|
They're always full of good fresh air when they're full of nothing else |
|
Oh yes we are the people running in the race |
|
Buying up the bargains in the ol' marketplace |
|
Another sale on something, we'll buy it while it's hot |
|
Save a lot of money spending money we don't got |
|
We Save a lot of money spending money we don't got |
|
The Consumer they call us |
|
When the man comes in the door |
|
To give us a deal on a vaccume when we buy a rug for the floor |
|
And how do we pay the finance when the monthly bills arrive |
|
They just send down the bailiff to reposes the car we drive |
|
The consumer is what they call us, we're always deep in debt |
|
From buying drawers in Discount stores to fixin' the TV set |
|
We go to the bank for the money and sign for another loan |
|
And hope the lord doesn't see us stop in the tavern halfway home |
|
Oh yes we are the people running in the race |
|
Buying up the bargains in the ol' marketplace |
|
Another sale on something, we'll buy it while it's hot |
|
Save a lot of money spending money we don't got |
|
We Save a lot of money spending money we don't got |
